My name is Ann. I am a proud Army wife
and mother of two really amazing children. My daughter has just
turned 12 years old, and is a double threat. She has beauty and
brain, but with that, she comes with a compassionate heart and a
temper that will curl your hair. My son has just turned 10 years
old, and has been battling Brain Cancer, on and off, for half of his
life. He is quite amazing. He was first diagnosed when he was just
5 years old. Went through treatment and was stable for a little over
a year. When his cancer returned in July 2010, we were told that he
is terminal. That we would be saying our goodbyes that October, at
the latest. We were told that those with this “situation” had
only lived up to 18 months after diagnosis. It is now August 2012,
over 2 years past diagnosis, and he is still here. Still fighting.
My family is filled with Heroes. I am truly blessed, and I could not
be more proud!
I am a lot of things: mom, wife,
nurse, taxi driver, maid, chef, laundress. You know the drill. But
outside of that, I am an animal lover and student (with my
certificate in Life Coaching) of holistic nutrition and urban
farming. I am very opinionated, and that has gotten me into trouble
a time or two. If I am wrong about something, I will own up to it,
and try to fix where I have been wrong. I believe that honesty, even
though many don't want to hear the truth, is always the best policy.
I try to keep an open mind, but sometimes I just can't. It's on my
very long list of imperfections.
A hairy communist bolts.
With the very mixed bag that I am, you
never know what I will blog about, from one day to the next. Please
feel free to leave comments, and I will try to address them as I go.
If you would like to see a blog about a specific topic...child
friendly topic...leave it in the comments, and I will do my best to
write about your topic. I look forward to getting to know you all.
PS: You will also find an “out of
place” sentence in this blog. Pay no attention to it. It was
placed there so that I could verify my blog.
